When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 40

Like other prestigious families, among the family members, there was a balance of power, emotions, and interests. This balance wasn't apparent, but from year to year, everyone had their own roles.

Ye Lan was the one who set the rules.

Ye Qiang had always wanted to become the person to maintain the balance, but he was powerless.

Ye Xiao, outwardly arrogant, but in fact, faithfully obeyed.

Ye Qiao, seemingly noisy, and ignored the existence of the equilibrium.

Only Ye Jin quietly protected this balance.

So, more than ten years ago, Ye Jin advised Ye Lan not to completely swallow his brother's shares. Also five years ago, she opposed Ye Zi Xi coming back to work at Yip. Unfortunately, her father never listened to her advice. Instead, because of that, she became the least favorite child. Since she was the only one who could see through Ye Lan's greediness and disloyalty, she was also aware of his guilt and weakness in his old age.

Ye Qiang was a tyrannical man, because of the similarity in age, he had always loved and protected this introverted little sister who wasn't highly regarded. Since young, in front of people, Ye Zi Qiang had always acted as the protector of his sister. However, after maturing, Ye Zi Qiang repetitively encountered hardships, and the person who protected him had always been Ye Jin. She was his guardian whenever he was detained by the police for fighting. He couldn't manage the company well, so Ye Jin stood behind him giving him advice.

It was no exception this time.

That night, she heard her brother's panic and fear while asking for help on the phone, and the first thing she could think of was that the mistake had already happened, what she needed to do was to minimize the damage and effects to the family to the lowest level.

At this time, Ji Bai interrupted: "Why did Ye Zi Qiang have a dispute with Ye Zi Xi?"

Ye Jin's eyes became sullen: "After Ye Zi Xi came back, my father let her be in charge of the dead investment company. But she was too outstanding, probably better than all of us. Every year, she always brought in huge profits, so my father gradually gave more and more powers to her."

Pausing for a few seconds, Ye Jin continued: "Last year, Ye Zi Xi's company had an investment loss."

Officer Wu flipped through the documents: " You mean the loss of $100 million USD when the partner ran away with the money?"

Ye Jin was silent for a moment, then said: "Not 100 US million dollars but 2 billion US dollars equivalent to 14 billion yuan, half of Yip poured into the investment."

Everyone standing outside was in awe. Ji Bai and officer Wu stayed silent, Ye Jin continued: " We've made every effort to hide this, otherwise the Yip stock will crash overnight. My oldest brother always suspected the investment loss was due to Ye Zi Xi's trick. Honestly, Ye Qiang has calmed down a lot. But he drank alcohol that night, and he also heard some baseless rumors from the overseas investment department. So he was momentarily provoked and drove to follow after Ye Zi Xi to Lin Shan Mountain."

And then? What happened after was exactly as Ji bai speculated. While arguing, Ye Qiang accidentally killed Ye Zi Xi. He was extremely frightened, so he thought of the idea of fabricating the blade case.

Ye Jin called right at that time to discuss work. Sensing that his tone was strange, she asked a couple of questions and pressed him to tell the truth.

The first thing she thought of was to command him to turn on the air conditioning, delaying the time of death of the body. When she came to the villa, the whole plan had formed in her mind.
